    Ready?

    ACen is almost here. I managed to catch Greyhound tickets (thank you high gas prices for upping plane ticket prices!!). I'm leaving Wednesday evening so that I'll be arriving on Thursday afternoon. I leave Chicago on Tuesday night and get back Wednesday evening. This was because I didn't have anywhere to stay for Mon & Tues night. Unfortunately, what [I just found out] this also means is that I'll [most likely] be missing the nationwide premiere of the Death Note movie. Another unfortunate thing is that I still don't anyplace to stay for Mon night after JMAC, but people have told me to take risks like this before, so I'll just have to wing it. I do have my Dino morpher, so I'm pretty ready for meeting Jason Frank (JASON FRANK!!!).

    As for anime, I'm just over halfway through Tengen Toppen Gurren Lagann. I still think it's pretty overrated. I don't think I've ever seen such a short series take so long to even get interesting. It took 8 episodes for it to get interesting (yes, that means I DID like episode 8) and 2 or 3 more for it to actually get good. It's not bad, per say - just not the best series of '07 (I still say Tokyo Tribe 2 gets that prize). I also got through a bit more of Haibane Renmei, which is something I always liked, but just never really got around to watching more of. Something else to know is that now that I have finished one more series, I've discovered a new favorite: Kino no Tabi aka Kino's Journey, which is a series I was introduced to through an AMV I saw that was made for Otakon '06. So right now, I'm only up to four top anime series:

    1 - Great Teacher Onizuka
    2 - Genshiken: The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture & Golden Boy: The Wandering Student
    3 - Colorful
    4 - Kino no Tabi

    I'm still (as always) updating MUGEN. Despite what I said I said in the last paragraph, the brightest star in my roster is TTGL's Yoko Ritona. Also, in preparation for ACen, I got a new PC joypad & a USB hub to contain everything I'll need for a hallway setup.


    One more thing - here are a couple of interesting vids that I've seen recently on Youtube:


    Apparently, Norm McDonald had some kind of tribute to Pokemon on his old ABC sitcom, Norm. Bloody HILARIOUS.



    Someone in France used Tokyo Tribe 2 clips as a video for their song
